I am very much the opposite! I close my entire browser at least once per day - every tab closed. I have about 10 sites in my bookmarks toolbar - which are basically the key sites I use for work, and that's it.
If I have too many tabs open, I lose context.
Ditto with terminals - they ALL get shut down multiple times per day. Reset to zero, spin up state, do task, reset back to zero.
I treat it like a commercial kitchen - you clean the whole place and then you cook the session's meals, and then you clean it all down again.
- Freak_NL 5y agoSame. I usually open our company's MatterMost in the first tab when I start (the only one I leave open all day), and will clear out anything else if I'm done with some task that required them. If I want to read something later I'll find it with DuckDuckGo or just the browser history. If I use it often the address bar will prioritize it so even just the first letter of the URL will show it at the top of the list. For sites that I search frequently I use DuckDuckGo's bangs directly in the address bar: https://duckduckgo.com/bang https://duckduckgo.com/bang.
- tsjq 5y agoNice. I am able to relate this with the book : organize your mind organize your life . https://www.amazon.in/Organize-your-Mind-Life/dp/9351060640 https://www.amazon.in/Organize-your-Mind-Life/dp/9351060640
- travisjungroth 5y agoMy most ranty and deservedly downvoted HN comment was expressing this same opinion. The kitchen cleaning analogy is great. What's amazing to me is clean-up takes less than a second. I view all my left over tabs like food scraps, and sweep them off the counter in a single click.
